About this program

Accounting and Related Services at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore is a bachelor's degree programme in Princess Anne, Maryland. It graduates about 10 students a year, so you are looking at a small cohort where faculty are likely to know your name. That size cuts both ways: you get attention, but you also get a narrower alumni network in the major than you would find at a larger programme. The earnings numbers are the part to sit with. One year after finishing, median earnings for graduates of this exact programme are $38,439, and two years after finishing they are $37,568. Across the same subject and level nationally, the median is $47,311. That puts this programme at 683 of 768 for earnings against its peers, and 12 of 12 within Maryland. If starting salary matters to you, this is a programme where you should ask hard questions about what recent graduates are actually doing. Median debt at graduation is $24,750, which works out to a typical monthly loan payment of $262. Compare that with the earnings figures above, and you can see the math a graduate faces. Within the university's own programmes, this one ranks 3 of 16 for earnings, so it is not at the bottom of the institution's offerings even though it trails its national peers.
